Coloring the string: by default, the multiline character string is colored in purple (like any other string enclosed in quotes in WLanguage) and it is highlighted in mauve. The default colors of WLanguage can be used for the multiline string ("Coloring the string .. WLanguage" from the popup menu of multiline string). This option is used to check the code typed when a multiline string is used for the dynamic compilation (Compile).

Ability to collapse/expand a multiline stringCollapsing the multiline strings is used to free space in the code editor. The code becomes clearer and more readable. When the string is collapsed, its content is displayed in a tooltip.

Limits

The maximum number of lines in a multiline string is set to 1000.

The multiline strings cannot contain any TAB characters (tabulation). Indeed, there is no way to differentiate between the tabulations found "in the string" and the indent tabulations of the code.

No multiline strings can be used inside multiline strings. The following code generates a WLanguage error:

sCode is string = [sMultilineString is string = [Test on the multiline stringsAttempt on the multiline strings ]]
